Questions & Answers

Shopper : Does this come in a lever lock option instead of a thumbscrew? Or can the top half be removed and another lever lock clamp be added instead ?
RICHARD W : Some of these panning heads are not strong enough to support camera and lens when tilted to angles up to 90º. Is this one strong enough to trust your camera and lens to when tipped over like on the Declination bracket of a tracker?
Roy P : Does this work with the SunwayFoto GH-PRO II Geared Head? And, if so, does this make it the same as the SunwayFoto GH-PRO II Geared Head-Plus, or are there still advantages that the SunwayFoto GH-PRO II Geared Head-Plus would have over the SunwayFoto GH-PRO II Geared Head with this added on.

Absolutely Perfect

Perfect for me. I got this to replace the original declination plate for my star tracker. This not only solved the clearness issue I initially had, this is an upgrade in every way. The fluid pano is perfect for corse adjustments while finding what you want to photograph, the geared head great for fin adjustment. I would recommend this for anyone with a sky guider pro.

Great clamp

This is a great panning clamp! You can lock it down and still pan whatever is clamped by turning the big knob.

Really stiff with a lot of play in the mechanics

I bought this from Adorama on eBay. For some reason it was in stock on eBay but out of stock here. Unlike many of my other SunwayFoto items, the quality control on this clamp is awful. The adjustment of the clamp is crazy tight. In addition, the geared mechanism has an enormous amount of play. It certainly isn't beneficial for minor adjustments in macro photography, which is what I bought it for. I have played with another sample of this clamp, that belonged to a friend. It was properly adjusted and worked fine. So I likely have a bad sample of this product.

Very useful geared panning

I use it with a Arca Swiss D4 geared head. The D4 only has geared heading and tilting. Adding panning completes the package. No wonder Arca Swiss is bringing their D4 with geared panning. But this can be used on any Arca Swiss clamp heads. Note: it includes an adapter plate to mount on an Arca Swiss clamp.

Where precision and stability are paramount, the Sunwayfoto Geared Panning Clamp is an indispensable tool for professional architectural photographers. This durable and sturdy device offers a versatile and adjustable platform for panning and tilting your camera or other equipment with a tripod head.

Featuring dual adjustment knobs, this geared panning clamp facilitates quick and fine-tuned photo composition in one seamless step.

When combined with a 2-Way geared head, it allows for a full 3-way geared adjustment, providing unparalleled control over your camera's positioning.

The device features a larger adjustment knob with a comfortable grip for finer tuning, enhancing user experience. It also comes with a base 1/4" screw holes for the Arca QR plate, 1/4" - 20 Hex countersunk screws, and a 4mm wrench. It is compatible with all Arca QR clamps via the dovetail structure, further expanding its versatility.

The GC-01 model is a one gear drive 360 degrees panoramic clamp, providing quick-release adjustment as well as exquisite fine-tuning. This clamp is ideal for professional architectural photographers and others who demand precision and efficiency in photo composition and splicing. Working in tandem with a geared head, it facilitates 3D full gear drive adjustment, making it an essential tool in any professional photographer's kit.
